Dancers!
The campaign is going AMAZINGLY, as we hit 800% funded with 578 backers! 🤯
🎁 FREE FOR ALL BACKERS: HERE'S WHAT YOU UNLOCKED SO FAR!
UNLOCKED: Mnemosyne Tile
Mnemosyne, Goddess of memory, is the mother of the Muses!
She joins the dance with her daughters under the shape of AN ADDITIONAL TILE, bringing the total to 10 in every copy of DoM!
Not only, her tile is DOUBLE SIDED, and has TWO DIFFERENT GAMEPLAYS!
Read the previous update for more details!
As the wonderful GOLD FOIL details on Box and Tiles loses, we are sure we’ll be seeing them again :P
UNLOCKED: Customized Dice
The custom design Jules made applies to all the dice of Dance of Muses (even the ones in the expansion and the Misty Mountain Dice AddOn), and it is studied to simplify the search of the needed value, with two “+” and “-” symbols printed on sides 2 to 5.
Too bad for the Embroidment on the Cloth Bag, which slides down to a better moment. ;)
➕ ADD THIS TO YOUR PLEDGE!
We talked with our friends at Misty Mountain Gaming, which are experts in dice manufacturing with gemstones – yes, GEMSTONES – and we added a NEW LUXORY ADDON, that you can find in the “Manage your pledge” section.
- From your Kickstarter account, click the “Manage your pledge” button that appears next to your pledge amount.
- On the next page, select "Change your pledge," and then change (or keep) your selection.
- Choose your new add-on(s).
- Continue and confirm until the end of the process... you made it!
You can find more precise instructions with screenshots in our first update.

❓ CHOOSE THE NEW STRETCH GOAL!
You know the drill: WRITE IN THE COMMENTS OF THIS UPDATE YOUR FAVORITE STRETCH GOAL!
Tokens to Chips
This only regards the tokens of the «Divine Interventions» Expansion, included in every Deluxe reward and above.
The cardboard tokens are replaced with 30mm (1,18’’) ceramic chips, like the ones used in game such as Splendor. They will be printed with our custom designs and they are sooo fabulous to the touch! 😍
Plastic Tray
As you surely have experienced in many other games, an internal plastic tray is a solid comfort tool to keep your game components in order when you put it back on the shelf, or around the world with you. We don’t have a custom design yet, but it will be thought for holding even the components from the expansions (not the playmat, sorry, it’s too big!)
See you next week for the results.

NEW ADDON REVEAL, SOLO MODE UNLOCKED, 2 NEW STRETCH GOALS TO VOTE!

Dancers!
We are JUST ONE WEEK in the campaign and we already hit 640% funded with 464 backers!
This is an astounding result, the best so far for us at Space Otter, so thank you again for your love!
NEW ADDON REVEAL!
To celebrate, we added a NEW ADDON, that you can find in the “Manage your pledge” section.
YOU READ IT RIGHT! Marco Baglioni, one of the designer of Dance of Muses will PLAY WITH YOU, teaching you the rules (if you need it) and giving you a chance to beat him.
You are warned: he’s good. He’s damned good. Neither Jules nor me ever bested him, and even his co-author David has to sweat a lot to do it. :P
After the end of the campaign you will receive a link to Calendly to book a date to meet Marco online and play DoM on Tabletop Simulator or Tabletopia.
- From your Kickstarter account, click the “Manage your pledge” button that appears next to your pledge amount.
- On the next page, select "Change your pledge," and then change (or keep) your selection.
- Choose your new add-on(s).
- Continue and confirm until the end of the process... you made it!
You can find more precise instructions with screenshots in our previous update.
UNLOCKED: SOLO MODE!
Well, you have spoken: with almost 4 times the votes, SOLO MODE wins over the SUN TOKENS.
Written by DoM authors, this is a collection of amazing, brain smashing puzzles to play with the game's components (in solo or with whoever you want), to be solved in a determined number of moves.
It will most probably be an additional booklet included in every copy of DoM (we are still working on it, of course).
Worry not for the Sun Tokens, though! They may spring up again later in the campaign!
2 NEW STRETCH GOALS TO VOTE!
This campaign is too amazing, and you need to be rewarded: we’ll unlock not 1 but TWO Stretch Goals this week!
But you still have to choose WHICH ONE!
VOTE #1
Mnemosyne, Goddess of memory
She's the mother of the Muses! She joins the dance with her daughters under the shape of AN ADDITIONAL TILE, bringing the total to 10 in every copy of DoM!
Not only: her tile is DOUBLE FACED, and has TWO DIFFERENT GAMEPLAYS!
- When you play with Sleeping Mnemosyne (artwork still in progress), her tile cannot be moved.
This means that even the Muses cannot move it, only dance around it. It’s a fixed obstacle that greatly changes the gameplay.
- When you play with Awake Mnemosyne, you put A DICE OF EVERY COLOR on her tile.
If you use the power of a Muse on her, you can only manipulate 1 die… but when she dances, ALL THREE DICES WILL GO UP! Crazy, right?
And it’s not everything: this means that with 2 or 4 players, Mnemosyne acts like a THIRD COMPANY (or Artificial Intelligence, if you want), and she can even WIN THE GAME! XD
Gold foil
Simple but greatly fascinating, the gold foil printing procedure adds a layer of golden paint on some details of the box and the tiles, making the game shine and mesmerize you!
VOTE #2
Customized Dice
The custom design Jules made applies to all the dice of Dance of Muses (even the ones in the expansion).
It is studied to simplify the search of the needed value, with two “+” and “-” symbols printed on sides 2 to 5.
If this Stretch Goal wins, it will bring on the table even a luxury AddOn that we’ll present… eventually. :P
Embroided Cloth Bag
The Cloth Bag (included in every reward from the Deluxe up, or as an AddOn) gets an upgrade: the image is no longer printed, but EMBROIDED on the bag, make it even more precioooooous!
The Cloth Bag can contain all the game elements and expansions (given that you take them out of their boxes)
You have to choose one from the first vote and one from the second!
See you next week for the results!
Also remember to take the survey that you’ll find in your private message inbox!
That will help us make a better communication and understand feedbacks about the campaign and the game!
Love, and happy International Dance Day!
